Sidewalk and tree bed redesign are officially under way!! @artist_alaiyo has started stenciling her beautiful design onto the utility box and the raised tree guard / planter is mostly built!! More to come soon.... @designforagency #communitydrivendesign #thecommons

Chris was the lucky gardener to win a date night movie package generously donated by the @alamonyc ! Thank you @super_skaya !! Fitting ending to a great garden meeting :) #communityspaces #communitygardening

Thanks to @artist_alaiyo and @designforagency for getting this sweet background color onto the formerly ugly utility box in front of QG! Come by Saturday to see the beautiful mural take shape!! #communitydrivenart #streetart #urbanbeauty

Spring magic is in the air! Our #serviceberry bush is developing a nice crop of berries and our #queenspride #grapevines are showing signs of fruit for the first time ever. 🌱 #communitygardening #urbanfruitfarming

Well, our captured swarm of bees has moved onto greener pastures...they are now getting settled at @redhookfarms ! Thanks to Tim for sharing so much wisdom on the way. He will be moving them from their nuc into a full hive this Saturday at 1pm...he says all are welcome to join him 🐝 #qgardensbees #newhome

Words cannot do this Sunday morning justice. Yesterday one of our hives swarmed and landed--of all places--on the fourth floor fire escape of one our bee apprentices! This morning they were still there, so four of us swung into action. None of us had direct swarm capture experience, but we made it work... Dangling bucket and all! #beeswarmsofbrooklyn #whenfourwomenputtheirheadstogether #qgardensbees #ourfirstnuc
